#354 - Chapter 354: Entering the Arctic
Tan Zuoyin still didn't dare to try when her vest was pressed tightly against Qi Jing's.
She lifted Qi Jing's vest, personally feeling the power within the ring, and then slowly scattered the liquid into the air, letting it drift away with the wind.
"You can take care of the remaining tea stains with New Clothes Art, right?"
Although she could control the liquid, she couldn't include the pigments already attached to the short sleeves; only the impurities still soaking in the water could be taken away by her.
After Qi Jing released New Clothes Art, he asked:
"How's this Imperial Arm working out? Is it difficult?"
Tan Zuoyin replied:
"It's easy to get started, but it's not easy to master."
"That's how these things are. Just practice more when we go play in the sea later."
Back then, when Miao Kui used Gaia's Foundation, it was the same; turning into something was easy, but if the movements were too big, or if he wasn't very familiar with the thing he was transforming into, it was easy to fail and be exposed.
Qi Jing joked:
"With it, you'll be a water-type ability user from now on. I'll be relying on you in the sea!"
"I will not fail in my mission!"
Tan Zuoyin straightened her right hand and gave a military salute at her temple, and then they both laughed.
"General Fang Dasheng, how many minutes until we rendezvous with our three little soldiers?"
"Corporal Zha Xiaoyin, three minutes. Please hold on tight, I'm going to accelerate! Charge!"
"General, you're so fast, I like it!"
"Corporal, this isn't even my limit, I can go even faster!"
"General, watch the road!"
......
"We just started our second game when you came. Are you deliberately making us abandon our teammates?"
When they arrived, these three were indeed playing games, and their phone screens all showed the starting state.
Yan Cheng said without looking up:
"Hurry up and take us into the portal. We three can't see the road right now."
They couldn't do something like abandoning their teammates, even temporary ones.
Moreover, their current task was a speedrun, so even if the probability was low, they had to pretend to hurry, so they could only let Qi Jing take these three guys who couldn't see the road.
Song Jiang retorted: "I can abandon teammates."
"Me too!" Miao Kui echoed.
But their eyes were still fixed on the screen, looking like they were in the middle of a first-level lane fight.
Qi Jing rubbed his forehead:
"I told you to practice dual wielding, but you just won't. If you succeeded, would you be afraid of not seeing the road?"
"You call that dual wielding? That's called distraction and lack of focus. Only single-minded people like us can accomplish great things. And all your martial arts, they're practiced like they're fake. I suspect you're just messing with us."
Speaking of Qi Jing making them practice martial arts, Yan Cheng's legs hurt.
One day, Qi Jing didn't know what got into him, but he insisted on having him practice his "Treading Snow Without a Trace" martial art, saying it was his first attempt to promote the path of martial arts.
As Qi Jing's good brother, Yan Lao, how could he refuse?
But this guy actually directly injected Source Power into his legs without explaining, to imitate the running route when he used his lightness skill.
It hurt so much at the time, even with the Painless Badge, it still hurt so much that he screamed, making everyone on the entire playground look over.
Fortunately, there was the Dryad Leaf, this healing treasure, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sleep from the pain.
After that, Qi Jing also had him and Song Jiang practice things like "Crossing the River on a Reed" and "Lion's Roar", but without exception, all failed.
In the end, this guy couldn't save face and said he wanted them to practice "Dual Wielding."
But they knew that Qi Jing, this dog, had never drawn this skill. The so-called dual wielding was just multitasking he learned from reading novels.
If they also had his strong mental power, would they still need to practice this?
"Alright, alright, I'll pull you along. Actually, I've thought of another way to let you learn my martial arts. I'll teach you when we get back."
Qi Jing took out an almost transparent forked rope from his space and connected it to them, leading them towards the Arctic Ocean portal.
"We'll talk about it when we get back, we'll talk about it when we get back."
When people are busy, they can't take care of another thing, just like when someone hands them anything while they're on the phone, they'll subconsciously take it. Yan Cheng didn't have time to refute Qi Jing's words.
"Let's go, let's go, let's fight!"
It was already very late at this time, but people were still constantly rushing here.
After all, this mission was a water mission, and their C-Rank Dimensional Door was the only water-type dimensional door in the country, so there were the most people who could swim.
Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin led these three shrews through the portal.
As soon as they stepped in, they felt a chill coming from their bodies, and subconsciously wrapped themselves up.
Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin immediately put on their battle suits and armor.
"I forgot, this is the Arctic, it's very cold. It seems we have to abandon our teammates. You guys quickly put down your phones."
Hearing Yan Cheng's words, Song Jiang said without looking up:
"You put it down first!"
"You first!"
"You first!"
Miao Kui interrupted them:
"Three, two, one, put it down together!"
Finally, they pressed the power button next to their phones and tremblingly took out their battle suits from their backpacks.
Qi Jing and Tan Zuoyin looked at these three guys and smiled lightly at the air, exhaling white mist.
"These three, I'm impressed."
"It seems like we're on an aircraft carrier here."
Tan Zuoyin looked around and found that they were standing on a super-large deck, with people coming and going in an endless stream.
Under the black sky, amidst the colorful aurora, the waves gently lapped against the hull, making a rustling sound.
The voices of various teams and the sound of the sea breeze were mixed together, bringing a different kind of lively atmosphere to this sea.
There was also a broadcast constantly repeating: "This is the very center of the Arctic. Everyone can disperse and explore in all directions. Have a good trip."
"Is this the aurora? It's so beautiful."
This was the first time Qi Jing had seen a real aurora, and it was much more beautiful than in the screen.
"Take a picture."
Hearing that Tan Zuoyin wanted to take a picture, he immediately took out a high-end digital camera and handed it to her, mechanically making a handsome peace sign.
"Can't you change your pose?"
Although she said that, Tan Zuoyin also stretched out her right hand and made a peace sign, putting it together with Qi Jing's, and used her telekinesis to control the camera to take a picture of the two of them and the aurora.
"We want one too!"
Yan Cheng, who had just put on his battle suit, also came over.
This was the aurora, and it was the first time their team had adventured alone, so they had to take a group photo.
After the five of them all posed with peace signs towards the aurora in the sky, they shouted together:
"Cheese!"
"Our team's adventure starts today!"
"What's our team's name again?"
"Handsome Yan and his three sons!"
"Screw you!"
"Good name!"
